St Paul
St Paul de Vence is a charming fortified village in South France, filled with art galleries, boutiques and sidewalk cafés. Located 30 km of Nice this little village has conquered the hearts of tourists from around the world, St. Paul’s is famous essentially due to its past as a medieval town.
Previously surrounded by the sea, St. Paul now rises above the valley on a promontory, giving the appearance of a ship, behind it is the “Baous”: a rocky mount, which has been immortalised by many landscape artists, it offers one of the most spectacular views of the region.
St Paul de Vence is first and foremost a city of the arts. During the Middle Ages, the town was known for its many artisans, including weavers, stone and woodcutters. This cultural heritage is still alive and well in St. Paul de Vence, and the town has developed a certain style of art over time.
At the end of the last century, it was the holiday spot for many French actors - an escape from the glamour and glitter of the Cannes crowd. All types of arts are still present here as represented by the countless galleries that criss-cross the ancient narrow streets of the village. An enclave for the people in the arts and entertainment, St. Paul is an emblem of the arts in Southern France.
